Recent studies show the fast-growing usage of the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) for most mundane financial transactions. Easy availability of money and technology, along with growing retailing, has enabled many UPI players to enter the Indian sub-continent. This study attempts to analyse the role of senior citizens' usage of UPI in India’s transition towards a cashless economy. This study is ethnography in nature, as the respondents are elderly citizens and would resist disclosing their financial behaviour. The demographic profile is analysed thematically. The themes included demography, economical and value &amp; trust. The age of the respondents and their emotional reaction were analysed using chi-square. The result showed no association between the two variables, with a score of 0.057. The study proposes subsidies in service taxes on the use of UPI for senior citizens, customisation on the usage of UPI, designing smartphones to facilitate the needs of senior citizens, awareness on the procedures for lodging complaints with cybersecurity and providing dedicated cybersecurity helplines to senior citizens.</p> M.

Education plays a major role in making women self-reliant, aware, and socially, economically, and politically capable. In the present time, education is no longer just a means of acquiring knowledge, but it has become an effective tool for making women aware of their rights and developing their decision-making abilities. Educated women actively contribute to the development of the family, society, and nation. They are more aware of health, nutrition, employment, family planning, and children’s education. Education increases women’s self-confidence and gives them the strength to raise their voice against social evils, discrimination, and violence. Through education, women become economically independent and capable of making important decisions related to their lives on their own. The expansion of women’s education in rural and urban areas has brought positive changes in the social status of women.</p> <p><strong>Abstract in Hindi Language:</strong> महिला सशक्तिकरण किसी भी समाज के समग्र विकास का महत्वपूर्ण आधार है। शिक्षा महिलाओं को आत्मनिर्भर, जागरूक तथा सामाजिक, आर्थिक और राजनीतिक रूप से सक्षम बनाने में प्रमुख भूमिका निभाती है। वर्तमान समय में शिक्षा केवल ज्ञान प्राप्त करने का माध्यम नहीं रह गई है, बल्कि यह महिलाओं को अपने अधिकारों के प्रति जागरूक करने तथा निर्णय लेने की क्षमता विकसित करने का प्रभावी साधन बन चुकी है। शिक्षित महिलाएँ परिवार, समाज और राष्ट्र के विकास में सक्रिय योगदान देती हैं। वे स्वास्थ्य, पोषण, रोजगार, परिवार नियोजन तथा बच्चों की शिक्षा के प्रति अधिक जागरूक होती हैं। शिक्षा महिलाओं के आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ाती है तथा उन्हें सामाजिक कुरीतियों, भेदभाव और हिंसा के विरुद्ध आवाज उठाने की शक्ति प्रदान करती है। इसके माध्यम से महिलाएँ आर्थिक रूप से स्वतंत्र बनती हैं और अपने जीवन से जुड़े महत्वपूर्ण निर्णय स्वयं लेने में सक्षम होती हैं। ग्रामीण एवं शहरी क्षेत्रों में महिला शिक्षा के विस्तार ने महिलाओं की सामाजिक स्थिति में सकारात्मक परिवर्तन लाया है।</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: महिला सशक्तिकरण, शिक्षा, महिला अधिकार, आत्मनिर्भरता, सामाजिक विकास, आर्थिक स्वतंत्रता, लैंगिक समानता, जागरूकता।</p> Shweta Singh Copyright (c) 2026 2026-05-15 2026-05-15 13 5 08 15 10.53573/rhimrj.2026.v13n05.002
